"Wow, look at you. You're even giving me a lecture now." Audrey blinked her eyes and smiled naughtily at Silvia. Silvia snatched the glass from Audrey's hand and said seriously, "I'm being serious with you here. Don't ever think that you can make me stop by joking around like this." Audrey shrugged and said, "Silvia, we are different. It's just like cold medicine, which could save someone with a cold but not someone else who has a chronic disease." Silvia asked, "What's the difference? Just because you are a few years older than me? Or is it because you are more experienced than me? So is that why you have to bear everything by yourself? Is that why you have to disguise yourself as a despicable woman so that everyone would look down on you?" "Can you just stop talking about my age already? Women don't like to be reminded of their age!" Audrey looked at her red-painted nails. "Besides, I'm not pretending to be who I am now. I had always been a superficial and mat
Silvia could tell that Audrey was afraid. She reached out to hold Audrey's hand. "Don't be afraid, Audrey! Tell me, and we'll find a way to solve the problem. Else, you'd continue to live in fear." Audrey sighed, "No, I'm not afraid anymore. I just feel that my life is as miserable as a joke. No, it's even more miserable than a joke." Silvia did not understand. Audrey laughed and continued, "Last night, as usual, I went to Phantasy Nightclub for a drink. I was trying to see if there were any good looking eligible bachelors. However, before I even had my second drink, someone stuffed something into my arms, and then I was taken away by a group of men." Although Audrey spoke nonchalantly, Silvia nervously clenching her fists. Had she been there, Silvia would not have let those people take Audrey away. "The old man who led the group of men said that I took his gift, so I had to go with him tonight." Audrey sneered. "I mean, if he is handsome, perhaps, I would
Jayden enjoyed the feeling of Silvia putting all her trust in him and relying on him very much. When he heard her muttering and calling for him in her dreams, he became even gentler as he laid her down on the back seat of the car. After putting her in the back seat, Jayden pinched her rosy and tender cheek and said, "Silly girl, if you listen to me and don't cause any more trouble, don't upset me, don't think about other men... Then, I can consider being your support for the rest of your life. I will never let anyone hurt you." However, it was probably he had pinched her too hard that she felt a little pain in her cheek. She furrowed her brows and raised her hand to pat his hand away. "B*stard, you're hurting me!" Jayden leaned over and bit her earlobe as he whispered in a flirtatious tone, "Silvia, tell me, who's hurting you?" However, just as he had finished asking that question, Silvia, who had fallen asleep, had unexpectedly opened her eyes. She stared
Dr. Thames was having a qualm about it, but since Jayden had said so, she had no choice but to abide by his orders. Therefore, she hesitantly told Silvia the things that she should be aware of while applying the medicine to Jayden's eye. Silvia was the one who caused Jayden's injury, so she was all ears when Dr. Thames was giving her the instructions. As soon as Dr. Thames left, Silvia hurried to Jayden and said, "Young Master Kyle, I've never applied medicine for anyone before, so if it hurts, you'll have to tell me, okay?" Seeing that she was so worried about him after hitting him, Jayden felt that the punch was worth it. He said to Silvia, "I have a low tolerance for pain. You'd better be more gentle with it!" "You're a grown man, aren't you ashamed for saying that?" That was what Silvia said, but in fact, her movements could not get anymore lighter. "Hiss..." As soon as Silvia lifted her hand, she could hear Jayden hissing in pain. "What's wrong? Are y
"Yesterday morning?" Silvia grabbed Auntie Cherry's arm and smiled playfully. "Auntie Cherry, you must be kidding me. He was here with me the whole night and we were still together right before dawn. How is it possible that he went out yesterday morning?" "Miss Turner, you must have met Master Jayden in your dreams." Auntie Cherry smiled with a knowing look on her face. "Auntie Cherry, I'm being serious here. Stop making fun of me." Silvia was thick-skinned, but now that Auntie Cherry was looking at her with that look, she couldn't help blushing. Auntie Cherry added, "Miss Turner, are you feeling a little confused because you're slept too much? You've slept from yesterday morning to this morning. It has been about 20 hours." "Have I slept that long?" No wonder she didn't feel tired at all. Silvia looked at Auntie Cherry again. "Auntie Cherry, could you please take these away for me? I'm going to change my clothes and I'm going out later." Auntie Cherry smi
The residential area where Jayden's villa was located was called the West Side and it was the most well-known residential area in Madison City. The scenery at West Side was picturesque, and the air quality was said to be the best. Moreover, the weather was like spring all year. Therefore, the houses here were high-priced and it was not something that any rich man could afford to own. The people who lived here were billionaires and the thing that they had the most was money. Therefore, the price was never in consideration. What they prioritized the most was safety, comfort, and privacy. Therefore, the security at the West Side was top notch. Silvia had been living there for several months now. Anyone who wanted to enter the area would have to go through a series of security checkpoints. Therefore, it would not be that easy for thieves to get in. This was her first time ever to see a thief in the area... While she was still immersed in her thoughts, the thie
"You're obviously sweet-talking me." Although Silvia knew that he was sweet-talking, she still liked it and was amused. Then she smiled, "Handsome boy, I'm already married. It seems like I can't wait for you to grow up in this life. However, I'll be sure to wait for you in my next life." "What? But you're still so young. How could you be married already? It's probably because you don't like it so you're coming up with such an excuse, right?" The handsome boy looked like he was really sad. "No, that's not the case at all. How can I not like you? You two are so handsome. I already feel happy just by looking at the two of you." Silvia had always liked handsome men, or else she would not be talking to this little boy for so long. The handsome boy asked, "Sister, do you like me then?" Silvia nodded. "Of course I like you! If I don't like you, I won't even talk to you." "Oh, so you won't talk to anyone that you don't like." The bubbly boy pointed his finger at t
When Auntie Cherry heard from Silvia that these two boys were here in Madison City to look for their brother but failed, she was very concerned. While Silvia was in the kitchen, Auntie Cherry immediately persuaded her, "Miss Turner, why don't we just call the police? What if their families reported them missing? If the police found them here, we might be in big trouble." "Auntie Cherry, that's possible, but it wouldn't matter at all. We are not human traffickers anyway. If the police were to come over to the house, we can just let them take the boys away, isn't it?" Silvia was not worried about being treated as human traffickers at all. Her only concern was if it would be inconvenient for the two boys to stay here. She thought for a moment and continued, "Auntie Cherry, the two boys have been looking for their brother for three days now. They must have not had a good sleep for the past three days. So, could you please clean up the guest room and prepare a few sets of
...... Eight months later. Adrienne had given birth to a daughter, gathering the entire Yard family in Chatterton Town. Everyone was in high spirits but Jefferson had a sour expression on, as if that was the worst day of his life. Sierra found a moment and went over to Jefferson. "Hey, Jeff. Adrienne just gave birth but why do you have such a long face on? Did you want a son instead or something?" Jefferson responded rudely, "It doesn't matter to me whether it's a boy or a girl. That little girl is our daughter, and I'll love her no matter what." Sierra continued, "Why do you look so upset then?" "Must I have a reason for that?" Well, he was angry at himself. Adrienne had almost lost her life in the labor room earlier, but he hadn't been able to offer any help. Throughout Adrienne's pregnancy, Jefferson had done an enormous amount of research and found out that a C-section birth was relatively safer. Hence, he'd insisted that Adrienne und
...... Johan was still clamming up. Maxtor was so anxious that he couldn't stand still. "Johan, what happened between you and Sierra? Can't you at least explain the situation to me?" After a long silence, Johan looked up and out of the window. "There have been so many fights and misunderstandings between us in the past years and it seems that the past was a time that we can never go back to." Upon hearing this, Maxtor seemed to have put his finger on the crux of the problem. "Did Miranda make Sierra misunderstand you?" Maxtor said earnestly, "Johan, I've told you before that woman has a twisted psyche and you need to stay away from her. You pitied her for being an orphan, but look at what she has been up to." "It has nothing to do with Miranda. It's me. If I..." If he had explained everything to Sierra back then, she wouldn't have felt that insecure about their relationship. He knew everything, but he still got mad at her. Maxtor continued, "He
...... On the first day of school, Miranda was once again met with an unpredicted truth. She found out that Sierra was the top scorer in the entrance exam. She was the overachiever that every university was dying to recruit. Not only did Sierra come from a good family, but she was smart and beautiful to boot. Sierra possessed everything she could have in life. Miranda couldn't figure out why she had to take Johan away from her when she already had so much. What made Miranda even more disappointed was not her inferiority but Johan. On the first day of school, she was over the moon to see that Johan was at the gate to receive her. However, when Johan took her luggage from her and she was wallowing in her excitement to see him, He said to her, "Miranda, that is the girl I like, Sierra. She will be your sister-in-law in the future. You should get on well with her." She didn't want to be nice to her. Instead, she hated her. Mirand
...... Johan's words frightened Miranda so much that her face turned pale. "Johan, Mrs. Silas adopted me. I would have died a long time ago if it weren't for her. How could I have nothing to do with the Silas family?" Johan's face was somber, and his voice chilled Miranda to her bones. "You know that my mother was the one who took you in, but look at what you've been up to all these years?" "Johan, what-what did I do?" Miranda said, trembling with fear. Miranda was an expert at feigning a pitiful appearance and reaping sympathy from others. She even managed to tear up and gazed heart-wrenchingly at Johan at that very moment. However, Johan did not buy into her ploy at all. Not only did his eyes demonstrate her no pity, there was also a trace of disdain that Miranda had never seen before. He loathed her. Upon realizing that, Miranda's heart was broken. Johan had been her dream for those past years. She had worked so hard to do so many things in
...... Sierra wasn't able to refute because what Miranda said was the truth. It was indeed true that many could never compare with her background. However, although she was born privileged, that didn't spare her from putting in effort for her own future. Prestigious universities wanted her because she was the top scorer in the entrance exam but not because of her family background and connections. All of a sudden, Miranda smirked sinisterly. "I know you like Johan, and you want to be with him. Sierra, I like him too, and I want to be with him. You have everything so why do you still want to take my man away from me?" "Excuse me? Who took your man?" Displeased, Sierra said, "Miranda, you were the one who told me that you two were siblings, and that there was nothing going on between you guys. And mind you, you were also the one who encouraged me to go after him." Miranda shouted in a low voice, "Sierra, if I hadn't told you that, would you have remained fri
...... Averting her gaze, Sierra turned around with difficulty. However, just as she had taken a step forward, Miranda's voice sounded from behind. "Sierra, I didn't expect you to come to the airport to pick me up. Imagine my delight to be able to see you on the first day of my return." "You've misunderstood, Miss Attwood. I'm not here to pick you up." Sierra did not conceal her hatred for Miranda as she could not even be bothered to dole out the niceties at her. Miranda chuckled. "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you're still so adorable." It seemed that Miranda couldn't sense the despise Sierra had for her. She approached Sierra with a smile and wanted to give her a hug. Sierra stared at Miranda's outstretched arms and quickly dodged her. A single glance at Miranda and her eyes would be sullied. Sierra thought that she would even throw up should her body come into contact with Miranda's. Miranda was never good at reading between the
...... Stopping her car, Sierra quickly got off to check the situation. No sooner had her feet been on the ground that four men got off from the car in front of her and surrounded her. One of them pointed at her and barked, "Don't you f*cking know how to drive? If you don't, then don't drive. Say it, how much are you going to pay for the damage!" Sierra was driving in accordance to normalcy, but the other party had, so suddenly, cut into her lane without a signal. As hard as she had stepped on her brake, she still collided with the car. They were supposed to be the ones held accountable for the collision. However, they got out of the car and shouted at her, extorting compensation. Sierra suspected that these men had done so deliberately to scam her. She took out her mobile phone and was ready to call the police. However, before she could even unlock her phone, one of the men had already wrenched the phone away from her. "We have something important t
...... In the middle of cleaning the table, Rosie said, "He doesn't only come here to have meals, but he would also get one to go every time. No jalapenos on the one to go. He says that you can't take spices because your stomach doesn't handle it well." Sierra did have a stomach problem, but it wasn't till the point that she couldn't take spicy food at all. Moreover, Johan had never brought any tacos back for her. Sierra figured that he was probably getting it for someone else so she asked, "What did he say to you when he asked you to pack it?" Rosie smiled and said, "He said that he was going to bring it for his girlfriend. He's obviously talking about you, isn't he?" "Oh, his girlfriend." Smiling, Sierra did not put forth any more questions as she knew that Johan had never regarded her as his girlfriend. For him, she was nothing more like a leech that he couldn't shake off. Rosie looked at Sierra and said earnestly, "I know you two fought tod
...... "My ability to act coy?" Sierra said inwardly. She had no idea from where did his temper sneak in again. However, she knew that somehow everything she had done seemed to piss him off. If he didn't like her, then why did he come looking for her? Did he have nothing else better to do? She smiled and said, "Mr. Silas, since you don't like being around me, then let's not meet anymore in the future, nor have any meals together. I'm afraid your appetite will take a nosedive when you see me." "You shouldn't say that, Sierra." Rosie handed one of the plates to Sierra and said, "Every couple gets into fights, but you must know your boundaries. Some words are too hurtful, and you shouldn't just say everything that comes to your mind." Sierra didn't make a sound. She wasn't a fan of others poking their noses in her affairs. Besides, she was not close to Rosie either so she found her rather meddlesome. Rosie didn't seem to register in her mind that Sierra was d
